An agent makes decisions using U(ct) = (ct−χct−1)1−γ 1−γ . Answer the following: (a) Suppose χ = 0. Derive an expression for the coefficient of relative risk aversion RR(ct)? (b) Suppose 0 < χ ≤ 1. Derive an expression for the coefficient of relative risk aversion RR(ct)?
There is an urn containing 90 balls: 30 of them are red, and the other 60 are either black or white. One ball will be drawn randomly, and its color will be inspected. R denotes the event of a red ball drawn from the urn and the events B, W are defined similarly. Gambling on an event means receiving $100 if the even obtains and zero otherwise. Consider the following gambles: The most common preferences are r>r and yy. x= (R: 100, B:0, W:0), a = (R: 0, B: 100, W:0), y= (R: 100, B:0, W: 100), = (R: 0, B: 100, W: 100). a. Can the majority choice pattern be explained by (subjective) EU? O No Yes

A clothing store and a jeweler are located side by side in a shopping mall. If the clothing store spend C dollars on advertising and the jeweler spends J dollars on advertising, then the profits of the clothing store will be (36 + J )C - 2C 2 and the profits of the jeweler will be (30 + C )J - 2J 2. The clothing store gets to choose its amount of advertising first, knowing that the jeweler will find out how much the clothing store advertised before deciding how much to spend. The amount spent by the clothing store will be Group of answer choices $17. $34. $51. $8.50. $25.50.

Question 2 A new digital file of lectures on the topic of intermediate microeconomics is being marketed on the Internet as a resource to prepare for the final exam. As an experiment, the marketing firm wants to direct half of Web hits to a page that advertises the lectures as a resource that provide a 90% probability of successfully passing the final exam, while the other half are directed to a page that advertises the lectures as a resource that provide a 10% probability of failing to pass the final exam. Would you expect equal numbers of sales from the two advertising approaches? Explain and use the appropriate concepts to answer the question, demonstrating your critical understanding of the relevant course material.
Ex 8. An airline's data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the new system has reduced the noncompletion percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001

5 players must simultaneously choose a number from the interval [0, 9]. Let xi denote the number chosen by player i; x = (x1, . . . , x5) all the selected numbers; x−i = x\xi all the selected numbers except the one chosen by player i. If player i chooses the number xi ∈ [0, 9], while the others choose numbers x−i, then the utility of player i is given by ui(xi, x−i) = 4(9 − xi) + 2Σ5 j=1 xj. Find the Nash equilibrium of the game and the corresponding utilities. Would all players be better off if they signed a binding contract before the game, obligating them to choose the number 9?
